What you'll do
As a Business Development Sales Executive, you’ll own net-new and expansion opportunities across a territory of small and mid-market customers and partner-led accounts.

What success looks like

• Build and progress a consistent pipeline through disciplined prospecting and partner-sourced lead flow.

• Win Microsoft-powered services deals by running tight discovery, aligning solution teams, and leading pursuit execution.

• Grow relationships through land-and-expand motions and clear account plans with Microsoft and channel partners.

Deal & candidate profile (to help you self-select)
You’ll be a strong fit if you can point to specific wins in net-new logo and can run a disciplined, high-activity motion in partnership with Microsoft and/or channel partners.

• Typical deals: Microsoft-powered consulting/services (discovery → proposal/SOW (Statement of Work) → close).

• Buying complexity: multi-stakeholder (Business + IT) with executive alignment required.

• Your operating cadence: consistent prospecting, clean CRM (Customer Relationship Management System) hygiene, and weekly pipeline inspection.

• Build and convert a high-velocity pipeline through daily prospecting, outbound campaigns, and partner-sourced lead flow.

• Lead Microsoft co-sell and channel motions: build joint account plans, activate partners, and run partner-led pursuits.

• Run disciplined pursuit management: qualify fast, set a win strategy, mobilize delivery/solution teams, and manage internal approvals through contracting.

• Drive growth in priority industries (varies by territory), such as Financial Services, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Retail & Consumer Goods, Energy/Resources, and Communications/Media/Technology.
